R's built-in editor is not bad, but it tends to be slow, especially 
with large script files (and usually on older Macs).

Some times ago, I have written instructions for my students how to 
set up a connection of external editors like TextWrangler or 
SubEthaEdit to R. See 
http://www.formatio-reticularis.de/r-mac-editor.html for details.
